Hello,

I am looking for a standard way to compare to dates. I have a date/time
stored in a field in a mysql table as
date_added TIMESTAMP(14)..... (IE yyyymmddhhmmss).

I want to delete all records in this table if date_added is older than 2
hours.

IE
if current_date >  date_added +2 hours then delete record.

How do I do this from within mysql?
Do I need to go outside of mysql and code it in php to do this?
I read that mysql wants calculations done on the app side as compared to the
server side.
What do others do with these kind of situations?
It appears that if I have to bring data out of the table and do a comparison
it wouldnt be efficient.

Thanks,
ccma
